Easily my favorite of your images so far Bear.  Technical aspects are spot on, but the real winner is the attitude captured.  Tiny bird, big attitude lends excellent contrast.  Very much hope this one made it to print.

P.S.  Solid PP, we balanced.

P.S.S. Lens used and aperture?

Really nicely captured! The attitude is obvious  8)  Mr Cool Bird ;)
The distracting Bokeh on the right side fits the feel of the overall image, luckily.

Really impressive.
Having been twice in Australia, I have always been amazed by the variety of wildlife.
